Trucks, Legends & Pick Up Trucks at Donington

Donington Park hosted the BTRA (British Truck Racing Association) last weekend weekend (24th &23rd July) at and as always it was a packed racing schedule as the organisation ran 10 truck races held over the two day meeting…

Truck Racing is very popular here in the UK and this weekend was no exception and a large crowds packed into the Derbyshire circuit to witness round 5 of the 2016 series. After battling all weekend, Ryan Smith secured two wins and Stuart Oliver two wins with both drivers also taking runner up positions in a number of races. The end result enabled Smith to extend his championship lead by 13 points – it remains close at the top of the table.

In Division 2, Scania driver Trevor Martin managed a fantastic double win on the Saturday and strong finishes on the Sunday taking him up the table to 3rd overall in the BTRA Championship. Other winners included Ryan Coleson, Adam Bint and Andy Lovenberry. Adam Bint had been leading the the championship going into the weekend but two retirements has meant that he has now dropped into P2 in the championship standings – a solid and consistent performance by John Powell at the meeting secures him top spot. Drivers head to Silverstone for round 6 on the weekend of the 13th & 14th August.
